Zombie non-maintained out of date website suddenly updated ACF

  • I have an inherited site that I try to not touch due to the age of the site, and the fact it was unmaintained and is out of date. Today I was alerted to the fact that ACF has updated on it, and due to many deprecated functions being used, parts of the website are no longer available/working.

    I am in a bit of a panic so I apologize if I accidentally gloss over any details.

    We had to have been on a 3.x version and are now on a recent 6.3.7.

    I have ACF in the menu on wordpress admin, and there are things that show up related to my pages. I’ve tried to make the changes to remove a few of the deprecated options (the_flexible_field in a while loop, changing to have_rows) places where the_field was used with scripts that I replaced with echo get_field but I think I might be in over my head here. I can’t get my templates to show the blocks where the ACF was doing things previously and I’m sure there are likely other deprecated functions I need to not be calling. Is there a list of everything that is deprecated or do i need to read through release by release to find this stuff? I have a recent wayback machine copy of the site to reference to rebuild it if I have to, heavily wanting to not do this.
